Godzilla (Pro)
Stern, 2021Hey everyone as I anxiously wait for my game, I was wondering for the Pro owners which is the preferred mechagodzilla figure to replace the plastic with along with which is the preferred bridge replacement? If there was a part of the thread where this was discussed I apologize in advance.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Why did someone downvote that? Lol, yes 5.5 and 8.5 bil put up on a location GZ at current code. Granted both of the scores were put up by very good competitive players. I’m just trying to figure out how to get there myself. No need to get wild with the downward thumbs.
I'm prioritizing any opportunity to increase the destruction jackpot multiplier now. Highest I've had it to is 12x.
What's great about the code design is there's no quick path to huge points. They come later in the game but only if you execute properly in each city. Collect every single destruction jackpot possible to increase the percentages for Annihilation Bonuses. Then you have to do well in Tank/Bridge/Power in those later cities to have a chance at the massive Annihilation Bonuses/Carnage Bonuses.
From a bit ago, and while it will be more difficult to do this again with Tank values nerfed some, I don't believe it to be impossible: https://clips.twitch.tv/GrossVainSeahorseFreakinStinkin-UXP19X-spC8p67rn
Quoted from tbaum:How did you get to this rubber? I couldn't easily get the bottom plastic off
[quoted image]
i actually didn't take off the whole plastic..i just worked the rubber in around the posts, after loosening the screws around it
Quoted from ulmpharmd:[quoted image]
Looks grea
Quoted from Bohdi:Anyone have some pics of these glow in the dark ones installed? Curious how they look

So, I did my research on this. I actually bought two figures from Amazon (both around $20) they are really small for the game.
I found someone on on of the topics that had this installed and it looks perfect, closely resembles the Premium figure. ebay.com link: itm
Downsides, it's a bit more pricy and it has those black burn spots. Not a fan but if you are then great. Size wise, I think this is the best fit for you.

I'll be having these available in the coming week or two. Will be $65 though (compared to the 40-50 for the 8" figure). Doing final size fittings, but will be about the same size if not bigger than the Prem/LE model. I also placed it next to the 8" figure half for comparison.

It was a quick color test for the body, so didnt paint anything else. But ears/eye/tongue missiles will have its normal coloring. The final one will have a darker hue to the aluminum as well. Just got the paint in last night and making my first, hopeful last revision, version at the moment. So will have final looks by Thursday. Shoot me a DM. Wont have these on the store for a while till I finish some other projects.
So I'm working on a rooftop mod, haven't received my machine yet. If it's not too inconvenient for someone out there, could I get a measurement, the height of the spacers under the top roof plastics. Also curious if there is a washer there. I've downloaded the manual but can't seem to locate these specific parts. Would sure appreciate it.

Its one of those spacers that goes through the plastic as well. The spacer under the plastic is .502" (guess half an inch but my caliper has that .002), and the plastic is .07"

Lermods is what I have and I love them!

https://www.pinballlife.com/godzilla-side-armor.html?Category_Code=
By the way did any one figure out if this is black or silver? I’m trying to understand how it can be compatible with all trim packages, I copied and pasted this off of the description from the site..
“Officially licensed side rail set for Stern's Godzilla pinball machines. Compatible with all trim levels; Pro, Premium & LE.”
Catching up on podcasts and Zach from TPN teased that the GZ topper is not just a flat piece of plastic. Basically teased that it will be released soon and is interactive in some way. Gird your wallets folks.
Just got my Godzilla Prem and have a situation where 2 balls are ejecting into the shooter lane. Most often (maybe always) it's mid ball, not the start of the ball. I did lower the trough eject power a bit - could set it back to default but wondering if anyone has had this issue.

Replace the balls. Reseat the connectors at the trough boards.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Replace the balls. Reseat the connectors at the trough boards.
Do you think it is a magnetization issue?
I put in carbon core balls day 1, they magnetized in under 250 plays. Using bc precision now, 500 plays later, no issues. Odd,,,,
Yay my Zilla premium arrived at my Distro today. Be in my arcade tomorrow! Portland Oregon from Next Level Pinball
Quoted from chuckwurt:Replace the balls. Reseat the connectors at the trough boards.
I would speculate you have the same issue I had a couple of weeks ago just reseat these connections I seriously doubt it's magnetized balls. Put a paperclip to your balls see if it attaches and if you don't like your balls I reccomend Trojan standard, never had an issue with them.

Tell J I said hi!!
Quoted from rob3:reseated and changed the balls, did it again first game.
Turn the trough power back up to stock. Any change?
Quoted from jid:Lermods is what I have and I love them![quoted image][quoted image]
But it’s not era accurate though. The 8” Bandai one is perfect.

Have you checked the trough optos and other switches in Switch Test?
Quoted from unclerudy:I just put on the alternate translight on my Pro. What do you guys think? [quoted image]
I went with the other one. Was sent yours by mistake and they sent me the 1954 movie poster one. Both are great.

On the pro there’s not much room available for the 8” one to fit. So if you go as big as the LE/Premium or larger than the Bandai it won’t fit.

They will probably announce the mando topper 1st then godzilla then RUSH.sAYS THE GREAT CARNAC.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:On the pro there’s not much room available for the 8” one to fit. iOS if you go as big as the LE/Premium it won’t fit.
[quoted image]
yeah, tbd. The measurement I got from someone with a Pro was just over 2.5" from the front edge of the platform to the dome. Currently the diameter of that one in the photo is just 2.5". If that base fits, prob the only adjustment I'll make is removing his mid-low fin. Thats the only part extending past that distance. Its a hidden area, so not a big deal missing that piece behind him.
WORST WORST case scenario I'll scale it down just slightly. So the height will be 4.75" instead of 5", and that would get the diameter at 2.35"

Well, that is freakin' awesome. Where are you guys getting these translites?
Quoted from chuckwurt:I’m waiting to see if anyone can light up that armor with some pulsing red
same, but yellow, because ghidorah.

Cool, thanks. I guess he's back in business. Ordering RIGHT NOW LOL
Quoted from rob3:reseated and changed the balls, did it again first game.
Check your shooter lane switch in test mode. Pop a ball into the shooter lane and see if it registers. If it doesn’t, adjust it so it does.

Love that translight. I've been debating for months to grab one....
Got my Godzilla last week! I can’t stop playing this machine. I haven’t even had the urge to hit the local bar to play. Just keep trying to go deeper and deeper in this game. In my opinion this game isn’t just the game of the year but may be the game of a generation.

Love that you're enjoying it! Good score!!
Quoted from troon47:Hmm.....I'm noticing about 4 negative reviews....7.3-8.5.... for the Premium in the last five days or so. Wondering if this is a trend or a group of buddies trying to bring the rating down.
JJP GNR fans most likely. Or old school B/W who hate to see their prized classics slip in the ratings. Really, who cares about the pin side 100 anyway.
A week and 70 plays in... Just starting to put some things together and get a feel for the shots. Looking forward to the journey of learning it all.
I've got a ton of games in on AIQ Premium and I can tell some similarities in the Godzilla game play and code. I love AIQ so that is fine with me! AIQ is also a longer playing game which Godzilla will be as well. Godzilla has much better sound and video than AIQ though.
Looking forward to what the Godzilla "mini" game will be, hopefully in an upcoming code update.
